Who is the greatest American?

Have you heard about this? Things I find disturbing include: the nomination of 20th century presidents that include both Bushes, Reagan, NIXON, Kennedy, Johnson, Eisenhower, Truman, and both Roosevelts, but don't include Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter; the disturbing inclusion of Rush Limbaugh, Billy Graham, and Dr. Phil; and the just plain ludicruous inclusion of Hugh Hefner. I mean, c'mon, HUGH FUCKING HEFNER?? I'm amused at the inclusion of Nikola Tesla. Is this really the best we can do, in all of American history? Arnold? Martha? Jesus.

If I bother to vote, it will be for Susan B. Anthony or Harriet Ross Tubman.

Clinton (both of them, actually) and Carter are on the list. Maybe you got an incomplete one?

Hrm. Or perhaps my head is just so far up my ass I didn't see them? Anyway, am still pissed about Carter.

Carter's in between Johnny Carson and George Washington Carver on the Bush to Cosby tab, FYI, if you want to vote for him.

Where the fuck is Kissinger on that fucking list, goddamn it? They put Pat "Dolph Lundgren" Tillman on there and they leave out motherfucking Kissinger? My vote if for Harriet Tubman, too. We've got to start publicity early for her, to boost the box office on my excellent action movie loosely based on her life.

Hrm. OK. I just can't read, apparently. I'm still voting for Harriet Tubman. And Simon, you are a nutjob.
